MANAGING THE NATIONAL ECONOMY’S RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN THE CONTEXT OF STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE OIL AND GAS COMPLEX. PART 1. NEW CHEMICAL MATERIALS AND THE GLOBAL FERTILIZER MARKET

This series of articles analyzes the economic potential of the domestic oil, gas, and gas chemical industries as a strategic tool for addressing the challenges of social and industrial gasification programs for domestic production facilities in the context of sanctions restrictions. The relevance of the study stems from the need to ensure energy and import independence, implement import substitution policies, and sustainably develop Russian enterprises with a focus on the Asia-Pacific Region in a dramatically changed foreign economic environment, particularly against the backdrop of processes unfolding in the global gas and petrochemical product markets. The goal of this applied research is to identify approaches, scenarios, and economic instruments for the successful implementation of national and federal gas chemical development projects and social gasification and pre-gasification programs within a strategic framework. Achieving this goal requires solving numerous problems. Some of the tasks related to import substitution, the production of new materials, industrial clustering, energy generation, and the digitalization of industries are discussed in detail and illustrated with examples. Within the framework of a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, the authors of the article applied the methodology of strategizing, used the methods and techniques of activity comparative studies, methods and techniques of statistical and economic analysis, as well as various sources of relevant information. Particular attention was paid to mechanisms that enable the localization of gas chemical production in the form of industrial clusters and the creation of modern infrastructure through long-term government contracts. It is proven that such a mechanism of industry interaction between economic entities can support the development of the petrochemical industry, become a catalyst for import substitution, stimulate interregional cooperation, the development of innovative technologies and meet the growing demand for energy resources. The first part of the article analytically documented domestic achievements in the new petrochemical industry and identified Russia’s place in the global mineral fertilizer market.
